Watch: Andy Cohen Shades Kathy 'Who?' Griffin
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Kathy Griffin has been outspoken about her treatment in Hollywood following the fallout she's faced since posing with a severed head resembling President Trump. During that time, she's also called out former BFF Anderson Cooper, confirming their friendship came to an end after Griffin's backlash. (She's also been outspoken about how she feels about Cooper.)
The pair used to host CNN's New Year's Eve special but the network fired the comedian in the wake of the controversy. It was recently announced Andy Cohen will be replacing Griffin.
TMZ caught up with the Bravo star at LAX, congratulating him on the new gig.
"Have you talked to Kathy at all in the meantime? Did you run it by her first before accepting [the hosting job]," the TMZ reporter asked.
"Who?" Cohen asked.
"Kathy Griffin!" the TMZ reporter responded.
"Who?" Cohen asked again.
"Kathy Griffin!" he said.
"I don't know her," Cohen, channeling his best Mariah Carey, said.
"The ex-host with Anderson. What do you mean, she used to host it with Anderson now it's gonna be you, you're kinda replacing her, because CNN gave her the ax," the TMZ reported informed Cohen.
"Oh, OK," he said.
"How come this is news to you?" the reporter asked.
"I don't know," Cohen said, later confirming he's not talked to Griffin.
"You don't know who Kathy Griffin is?" the reporter asked.
"I'm trying to remember...Anderson and I have been on tour for two-and-a-half years together. We're a duo," Cohen responded.
